How long would it be on 56k? I recall having to reconnect to my ISP every three hours to resume downloading an iso back in those days.

> So the largest companies, the companies with the biggest budgets and most users, are pushing for regulations that only they have the resources to follow.

As ever. When has it ever been different?

The Rich write the rules to be broken, by them to keep those out.

   "We broke a rule?, oh dear, I guess that's a 300M fine for us".

It's what I do too. I take what I've been given, write the comments of the code in the code, say good bye & thanks and then send it to the next context.

New context with it's own code with my comments and a fresh pair of eyes can makes it shine.

Polite and unionised LLMs quietly mocking the human existence.

   "Would you like some tea' with your unemployment, sir?"

It had broad adoption, Mozilla threw it away.

The same would occur again.

In fairness, while there was definitely Mozilla mismanagement, there was also a massive monopolistic marketing/bundling campaign by Chrome. Google search and other properties pushed Chrome, Google paid application publishers to bundle Chrome the way they bundled adware, and so on.

Servo never had. But yes, mozilla management let FF go down the drain.

Down the drain? Firefox is still a great browser.

Their performance is not great comoared to the competition and their market share is at 3.7% and falling. The only thing that keeps me there, is ublock origin. The moment ladybird or a a servo base browser becomes an option I switch.

And if FF also starts to restrict UO, I just go to chrome then. I assume many think like me.

Firefox is acceptable, but it's definitely not what it used to be. I've long stopped expecting any positive user- visible change in Firefox updates.

Servo was not intended to replace Gecko. By all reports it was an experimental component, many of whose findings were used in Gecko.

That folks want to take it further is admirable. But doubtful Mozilla could have afforded to with their existing commitments.

sorry, what? servo existing as a mozilla side project did not give it broad adoption

We have all that? I'm still copying and pasting off the WebUI of ChatGPT.

Traditional and boring works for me.

"Traditional and boring works for me."

I wouldn't call copy & paste code from a webui of chatgpt either traditional or boring. I'd call it tedious, error prone and guaranteed to get poor results. There is much better tooling and harnesses to leverage now.

Can we post uptime stats instead? I just axed two of my servers from colocation a couple of days ago. Sad to see them go, six years of FreeBSD.

No since kernel live patching is not universal it promotes bad security practices to maximize the uptime of a single server.

Not to mention being completely useless in the face of FaaS or just autoscaling.

Myself as well, the itch for: "I want my own accelerated VGA adapter" is something that's been on my bucket list for a while.

Something that can output video and this fits the bill. I'd rather make my own video pipeline than use existing and if this can render triangles and polygons, than that's all I need.

For now.

Just like cable tv, and Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video, and....

... and now the TV itself has ads!

as well as anti virus.

Eh, I guess they're going with the "South America" gimmick. I'll pass.

Why's that
